30664 - The code

N. Lygeros
Translated from Greek by Athina Kehagias

We’ve broken
the code
of barbarism
when it eased off
as the beasts
assumed
that no one
would be able
to do so,
yet again
someone came across
who understood
that nobody else
would’ve done it
and so he decided
to do what’s proper
at the time that others
did only what
they should do
and he managed
to change
the history
of the world
because his work
protected
the innocent
from barbarism,
and that was
Alan Turing.
